Tiger Woods' Wife Wins Lawsuit Over Photos

Today, Elin Nordegren Woods, wife of world number one golfer Tiger Woods, won $183,250 and an apology from an Irish magazine that published an abusive article and a faked nude photo of her.

According to a story by the Associated Press, Trevor White, publisher of The Dubliner, conceded that the article -- published in September 2006 when Ireland was hosting the Ryder Cup -- "was cheap, tasteless, and deliberately offensive. It was also completely untrue." 

The magazine printed bogus nude pictures of Woods' wife just days before Ireland hosted the Ryder Cup, the biggest team event in professional golf.


Not a fake photo of Tiger Woods and his wife, Elin.

How the idea to do this ever got into print much less OK' d by people who apparently thought it was a good idea is beyond me. It still amazes me that in the publishing industry people still think that it's OK to fabricate a story and a photo to support the story and publish it.
